There will be cash prizes for the chosen projects and at the end of the pilot one of the projects will be announced as an overall winner. The victorious team will be awarded a paid three week placement at UPPF, which includes free accommodation at @UoLondon/UPP halls in London…

Last week it was announced that @BeckyFrancis7, CEO of the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) and member of the UPP Foundation's Advisory Board has been appointed by the new Government to lead its independent curriculum and assessment review

The review is one of several commitments made as part of Labour’s pledge to raise school standards and support young people of all backgrounds to thrive.
As a result, Becky will be stepping down from our Advisory Board.
Becky has made a big contribution to the Foundation, including as a key member of our #StudentFutures Commission. Becky is a fabulous appointment by the Govt and we wish her all the best for the review!
